M HKA gaat digitaal

Met M HKA Ensembles zetten we onze eerste échte stappen in het digitale landschap. Ons doel is met behulp van nieuwe media de kunstwerken nog beter te kaderen dan we tot nu toe hebben kunnen doen.

We geven momenteel prioriteit aan smartphones en tablets, m.a.w. de in-museum-ervaring. Maar we zijn evenzeer hard aan het werk aan een veelzijdige desktop-versie. Tot het zover is vind je hier deze tussenversie.

M HKA goes digital

The Novum Belgium name did not last very long – the issue of the Stock paper to buy back Manhattan is one, and there were a few articles referring to the name, but the whole operation came to a head during the summer of 1986 (Initiatief d’Amis in Vooruit Ghent) so that there was a major pause in relations – each pursuing ‘solo careers’ as it were…
